Todd, I love your videos. Doing a great job explaining the task. You are a great teacher and your character speaks for itself. Love how you handle the challenges. I get excited watching and can't wait for the next one😂 Thank you for being you bud.

😊

Always enjoy watching your videos and appreciate how you explain what you’re doing and why! I’m clearing primary Locust, Ash, Mulberry, & Hedge with a Cat 310 and need all the help I can get!

Been watching you awhile now. Super stoked when you got the new 309. Are you wishing you got a bigger excavator than the 309 or is it satisfying your needs? I have a yanmar vio55 and need a bigger machine. All I can haul at the moment would be 308/309 size machine. I’ve thought about 160 size excavator and paying to get it moved but am curious your opinion on production of your machine versus bigger machine.

Another great video!!!!

You missed a lot of expenses 😢

I'm glad you got quite a bit of work coming in! That land is turning out incredible!

Well, I guess I left you hanging on answering that call. 🤣 I hear it from my wife when I destroy another tripod too. 🤣🤣🤣

I only know this because Sam talks about it. He has a history of destroying tripods. I have a tripod in my truck, but I use my truck or other oversize objects to put the camera on.

I think personally the secret to burning stumps is to get the dirt off of them and pick them up and drop them and then put them back in the fire, but you do have to have a hot fire

Todd, you are awesome. Thanks for doing what you do.

Hey Todd, thanks for the tip on lower grease price via volume purchasing. Have you considered 5gal buckets or mid-size barrel? I found Red & Tacky on Amazon in a 5gal bucket for $170. Doing the math, that's 26.5 cents per ounce whereas you're currently paying 41 cents per ounce buying a 10 pack of 14oz tubes. So, the bucket is 35% cheaper than your 10 pack of tubes. There are pumps available to dispense grease from buckets. Like anything, they range in price and quality. Something to consider, anyway. Thanks again for all you do for all of us!

I use red n tacky on all my equipment & vehicles. Walmart has it for under $7. I just ordered 30 tubes from Amazon.!! I think Roy must have dug your tripod out the the brush pile.!! Hope you have a fun & safe 4th if July.!! 😊

Thats awesome.!! You look sooo happy & proud to be on the job with Emma.!!

Hey Todd your %100 right . I’ve been ordering my grease by the case off amazon for the last 3 years . Also I try switching to a bunch of different brands after using red and tacky for many years. It seemed like my mini X series was fine for years then when I switched grease it started wearing out pins and bushings faster . So I’m back to red and tacky. Great video!!

I get high moly grease (5%) by Mobil from The Lubricant Store for pins and bushings and SHC100 Mobil from them for bearings mostly on my sawmill. Just my opinion.

In my area (central Alabama) we have mostly Loblolly pine an they tend to have big and deep tap roots, making them hard to dig out. Sweet gum and sycamore also are really tough to get out. Gums have a big tap root, but sycamore just has a huge root ball. I enjoyed watching Emma run your machines. Maybe my granson will help me some day.

Country boys know to park in the shade when available, don’t we. Repairs go better. 😂

Liked, Viewed, Shared, Subscribed.... Great into!

If you had 10 acres of wooded steep hillside to clear and were going to purchase a CTL or Mini Excavator (3 to 3.5ton machine) which would you pick? Struggling to make a decision because neither one is perfect, but which is more capable of working on steep hills in your experience?

" Safety Tip # 139: When navigating rough ground with your CTL, do not attempt to pick your nose"! That is all. End Transmission......

Red N tacky for the win. Even works for boat trailers long enough to justify not buying specific marine grease.

I use Lucus grease Red & Tackey. I like it a lot. They had a green label that I REALLY LIKE, but I can not find it anywhere now. In fact the last tube I got of it was off of Amazon. And it is like anything else TOO EXPENSIVE!!

I was very lucky yesterday. I took off my earbuds after watching DigginLife and I still heard the sound of a skid steer. The county was clearing the fire break between my neighborhood and the preserve. I waved the guy down and got him to grind down a 7ft high pile of brush I had made when I removed large hedges around my house. He ground that pile down to chips in about 2 minutes. It was on my TODO list to drag that pile to the street and would have taken me at least an hour in the Florida heat and humidity. I figure the excavator gods rewarded me for watching this channel!😂

Great job ! I still miss EMMA ! I LOVE YOU ALL !!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Just a thought about the door. Have you tried to open a window an inch? Im thinking if the heat or AC fan is blowing hard, that could be whats making it difficult to close. Keep up the great videos.

That's awesome ! I miss your helper !! Where is she , today ? I LOVE YOU ALL ! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Nice work! Todd, good tip on the grease seem like everything cost double these days crazy times.

Todd, you made pretty short work of moving those brush piles, everything is so expensive today, they say it`s a shortage, there`s no shortage, they want us to get used to these high prices because we are not going back to the old prices. I am in S.E. Michigan and gas was $3.85 per gallon, diesel was well over $4.00, I spent $32 just to fill my 2 cans for the lawn mowers, be well buddy.

I own a small engine repair shop and I've been using the wolf's head grease for a while now. I don't remember the cost right off hand, but it was affordable the last few times I bought it in bulk. It's a good grease too.

Mate - You are one of if not the best example of how youtube vids on digger work (and especially making roads through back country) can be SO freaking helpful and downright inspiring.... I use a wheelchair and walking sticks and live on rural property here in Australia. it's a rainforest valley with it's fair share of rainfall and virgin lush hillsides with clay under topsoil (Not much sandstone but a few floaters) I have a CAT 308E2 i've been teaching myself to drive, gaining what skills I can to start making safe access through these hillsides. Can't get enough of your experece, enthusiasm, positive attitude in face of adversity, and your willingness to share your attention to detail! It really means alot..!! So from halfway around the world - Thank you Todd for what you do, and how you do it! BIG MACK!

Hi buddy

Good morning Sir, quick question can you tell me where you purchased the O ring kit again please. I think I remember you saying in a previous video.

I just bought a ten pack, on Amazon, for $54. I use it for my zero turn. Like you I was not paying $10 a tube. So I bought more than I needed to get it for half price. Now I have grease that will last me for years.

Find your local bulk oil/lube supplier. They usually carry everything you could want by the case or drum.

I use R&T on my equipment and you’re 100% on that; grease is expensive! I did the exact same thing, picked it off the shelf and said, Nope!

I have been finding that with most items at auto part stores. We have a big NAPA that had everything and now it doesn’t and what they have is expensive. I try and buy local but they are forcing me on Amazon. Cheers

Great tips for starting an excavation business! If you're looking for reliable small excavation service in Queen Creek, check out LDW EXCAVATING LLC. They always deliver quality work.

Best video by far for how to load and unload an excavator. One thing I do extra because I don't have a big heavy dump truck. I'm running a 9,000 pound f350 12 ft flatbed and a 24 foot gooseneck dove tail. I keep a few 4x4 blocks and I always chalk my truck and trailer tires, even ground or not. It keeps your truck from rolling away, but it also keeps tracks from moving your truck and trailer opposite of your track direction. I had a scary situation unloading my dozer for the first time. Tires weren't chalked and I moved my tracks one way and mt trailer bed shot the other direction. I tried to correct and the trailer just went the other way faster and harder. The more I corrected, the worse it got. I finally just shut the machine off, let everything quit moving, chalked my tires with anything I could find and resumed. The difference was night and day.

Nice job

Nice work! Todd looked like those stumps bounced you around a bit, but you won the battle...lol. I hope you have a great 4th of July

I hope the viewer that complained about you burning understands that even burning provides benefit. When you burn organic material, ash is created. This ash is very nutrient rich. It also helps filter water and has many other uses.

G,day Todd Hey Happy 4th july to you and Family Mate .........

One of your great videos Todd! Thank for the work with the stumps... 🙂

Is plastic culvert just a good as steel for supporting weight?

I really like how you cut up and separate limbs from trunk of tree. Very efficient and organized,Letsdigit like. 😅great job as always!!!

Great video. My wife calls my little 306 my office! The stumps I find a challenge are the sweet gums . I will take a 24 inch yellow pine over a 12 inch sweet gun all-day. It was fantastic to see you spending time with and teaching your daughter. Looks like you are a blessed dad!

Curious why you drop the trees then get the stumps out…takes way longer and is more difficult. The worst thing you can possibly do is fell the trees then come back to remove stumps, especially with a smaller machine. Would charge a customer more if they pre fell all the trees, thinking they would save money, then asked me to clear the stumps. I seen you did it correctly for a few of them but seems like mostly the hard long way. Curious why?

I have been removing pines less than 8” with a 4-ton excavator. The machine does very well up to that size...after the operator learned what to do. Usually three scoops and out. Learning how to burn green wood was important, too. In a pit, I let the fire burn, slowly feeding it to get a good burn going on trunks, then soon after she is good to load up at will.

Todd, I have been watching Chris with that monster 350, incredible machine, you were getting beat up pretty good in that cab today, sure miss Emma taking away all of the brush, be well my friend.
